The movie also receives further criticism for playing on provincial fears of the U.S.'s neighbors in Mexico, and "trudging" along until the movie's conclusion.
John Rambo manages to trick a gang of cartel members to coming back to his ranch, which is filled with all sorts of surprise instruments of pain and destruction. The entire time Rambo lays waste to the baddies he plays The Doors' "Five to One" to boot, all while dressed like a cowboy and keeping his composure the entire time. He ultimately saves the day and gets Gabrielle back to her home in Arizona.
